Giving Tuesday, 2023

11/27/2023

#GivingTuesday is a global day of generosity that is taking place on Tuesday, November 28, 2023. #GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement, unleashing the power of radical generosity to transform communities and the world. Grassroots generosity and community action are powerful forces for good, especially in these incredibly turbulent times.

STEER is honored and grateful for the support of our community. With your continued support, we will ensure our students thrive academically, excel athletically, and develop socially and emotionally.

This #GivingTuesday, we need your help to support the Byron Womack Scholarship Fund.

"It's all about the kids" - Byron Womack

The Byron Womack Scholarship Fund was established as a perpetual trust to provide revenue to further support STEER student-athletes in their ongoing educational pursuits. Byron’s mission in life was to benefit others, and these endowed scholarships serve to continue that mission. These scholarships are designed to help select STEER student athletes to offset expenses associated with educational pursuits.

This year, we provided over $65,000 in scholarships to students pursuing continued & higher education. Check out the details below!
